THE PAID MEDIA



Journalism as they say turns proverbs into clichés and is cited repeatedly for its profound inconvertible observation in life.
This one is for the journalists, “JOURNALISTS WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES MUST THROW STONES AT OTHERS
Heck,We journalists, taught to blow against the wind and often live dangerously.
A Coin has two sides.  If one of its side is awesome than the other is abhorrent.  I am not censuring the media, just bringing the other side “the dark side”
Media subdues the public. The idea of the liberal media is a myth. Liberal here implies highly supportive of state power, state violence, and state crimes. Media has stopped thinking rather its mind is has just been rented to a mouthful of bureaucrats, politician, eminent personalities. Creating news that never existed…..and causing panic for nothing.
MEDIA STORY IS A FARCE
Pay and they will publish…it’s a short stop from doomsday here for our media. It has become puppet of the politicians. They telecast what sells...There are many unsung heroes whose deeds have the made the country proud but people barely know their name. These shoddy made pillars of today’s media does not showcase the real world. It is the created world the virtual world, and the only reason this has happened is because the mass likes to run away from reality and that’s where media has attacked us. It has converted these feeling to monetary value.
MEDIA CONGREGATES US FOR WRONG PURPOSE
Newspapers have become holy places for advertisements. Journalists are salaried to keep to their minds and mouth shut. They are becoming increasingly adrift from the crafts and ethics of the trade.  Corruption in media has been fictionalized across the world. They have become obdurate. 


Instead of looking at many aspects of the unequal nation in transition, the media is indulged in petty deceit. Media ignores the basic facts of HUMANITY, CONTENT, and JOB. It misses the point that lack of service exacerbates alienation and therefore fuels insurgency...
It is said that media power is the world’s biggest power… Media can change the world on its own. In past we have seen the power of media. The investigations that media has done even police has failed. It’s the wrong phase media is going through. It has to change itself before changing the world. Media is needed to be kept holy from corruption.
I HOPE THE MEDIA WILL CHANGE TO CHANGE US………….

  1. true Nikhil...the media has become a money spinning medium...every news for them becomes a breaking news..for the newspapers,they carry more of advertisements than news..a whole 'front page ad' awaits us instead of the 'front page news'..
    hope the media undergoes a positive change,stops sensationalizing every other news and become a media of transformation of our society
